Like you mention, as far as i'm aware the mk3 cab front ends were slightly different and updated which utilise some of the design from the later model Golf. Hence your particular model is sometimes referred to as a mk3.5.
Surely a main dealer hasn't told you that it's the same as a standard mk3 wing if you've given them the correct chassis numbers etc?
Have you tried Euro car parts or GSF ?

The main difference between standard mk3 and cabrio is that cabrio wings are shorter where they join the sill, you can modify a standard wing to suit.

as per Thai's comment - make sure it from the correct reg! Only the very, very last of the R-reg's were mk3.5 and pretty much all the S-reg onwards are mk3.5.... front wing, bonnet, mirrors and tailgate are the only real external differences.
